Ribspreader 04:14
I choke the earth in my enemy's blood I sever flesh from spine Ripping lungs out through gaping holes Revenge will always be mine Ribspreader Screams for mercy silenced by my hand The moon lights my eyes, the sun is self-hid Sparks of vengeance are set alight Only a life for a life can set the world aright Locked in battle, muscles taut, gripping my hell-fired blade Crimson channel, focussed thought, feeding the earth with the slain I choke the earth in my enemy's blood I sever flesh from spine Ripping lungs out through gaping holes Exacting eye for eye I flood the earth with my enemy's gore I sever flesh from spine Ripping lungs out through gaping holes Revenge will always be mine Ribspreader A shadow is left still Wandering these hills Embers for eyes, ashen disguise Watching, waiting to strike

Remember Me 03:29
I loose my spear I loose it, and the moon clouds o'er I loose it, and the stars burn dim I loose my sword I loose it, and the moon clouds o'er I loose it, and the sun is extinguished When the thunder rumbles Remember Me When the heavens rain Remember Me When the mirror tells its tale Remember Me When you look at the sun Remember Me Remember... When you look up at the moon I'll be there And in that self-same moon I will be... I'll be there, I'll be there I'll be there (Adapted from Malay Traditional Incantation)

Skål! 05:14
Conquering, we sheared the worm in two Blood-stained sea, the ravens waded through Singing steel, the war queen loved us then Crimson death, we left the wolves well-fed Skål! So raise a toast to fearless friends And have a drink to those who sailed The watery circle's end Raise your cup! Raise our spirits on this night! We will drink to victory Raise your cup Long may we fight! Brothers fell, with courage 'til the end Stout of heart, the Aesir welcome them When it's my time, laughing will I go In Odin's hall, I shall quaff among the heroes Skål! So raise a toast to fearless friends And have a drink for those who sailed The watery circle's end Raise your cup! Raise our spirits on this night! We will drink to victory Raise your cup Long may we fight! (Adapted from the Death Song of Ragnar Lodbrock)

Helldiver 03:26
I was born with a bomb strapped under my wing And I learned why the caged bird fears to sing Saw the world with a bloodshot eye, a disgrace Keeping low, never going to show my true face Winds of fire Winds of death Winds of fury Carry me For the wings of my spirit were never whole Breathe unto me life, for my spirit crawls Wings of fire, wings of fury, wings of death Carry me with unholy breath Helldiver Winds of fire Winds of death Winds of fury Carry me For the wings of my spirit were never whole Breathe unto me life, for my spirit crawls Fierce winds blow, I'm a helldiver set to destruct And I know that my toll has a chilling effect Wind-driven sirens of death scream, you'll pay! Overload, with my nose to the ground, stay away!

I was born of the beast with blood And laid into the fire I drew no succor, I was laid into the fire My heart was burnt, my mouth full of ash Blackened were my limbs I was fed the bitter weed And laid into the black earth I rose up, I was and was not The fire was within me, I shadowed your world I was laid into the fire, with flaming eyes that see My mouth as knives, I carve upon the bones of humanity There was no reason, no society Only nature, biology My eyes turned to flame that I might see My mouth as knives that I may speak the truth My angles sharp upon the stone I rose up, I was and was not I knew hypocrisy, The words were all lies They shall be purged in flame Ashes shall be made of them Only the faceless sky shall remain

Come failure, come flood, come drought When the sky drowns the earth And the sun burns the mountains When the crops disappear And the water from the fountains I am losing my eyesight and my skin is pale and wan I'm collapsing but I won't fall to starvation Come failure, come drought The very fires of Phlegethon won't smoke me out Starving, digging for roots Grasping, wormwood for food The dead are piling up in mounds Will I survive the arduous march? (repeat) If I give my last crumb, if I give my last kindling If I strengthen my soul, can I keep on living? In the shadow of the winter, I can't escape from this ill I will fall, for I'm losing my will Starving, digging for roots Grasping, wormwood for food The dead are piling up in mounds Will I survive the arduous march? Come failure, come flood, come drought

Ancient Hell 04:01
The worm turns the apple The snake in the garden Decay at the centre of all things The young devour the old The old spit truth Flowers blossom in the soil of the dead They too will hang their heads You cannot here, a paradise make Nature does not conform to your ideals Lift your head to the sky Strive while you can to stand straight, stand tall The field is not yours, you are of the soil Ancient Hell, soil of the dead The worm does not die, the fire does not quench Ancient Hell, abode of the dead The worm does not die, the fire does not quench Hell is the prison, the seed that rots Resentment, life not lived Beware of perfection, chimeric ascension For as deep as your root snakes down to hell, you must rise Ancient Hell, soil of the dead The worm does not die, the fire does not quench

Ride, ride, ride, the wolf you feed inside Burn, burn, burn, the secrets you have learned Forty legions you command The fate of souls is in your hands Why are you struck down Astaroth, Prince of the Serpent Crown? Fight, fight, fight, battles in the sky Fly, fly, fly, from the memories in your mind Forty legions you command The fate of souls is in your hands Why are you struck down Astaroth, Prince of the Serpent Crown? You see what was, what is, and what yet will be But in all your sapience, can you see? Seeketh me for you are lost I am your shadow Look behind, or you will never find peace Rise, rise, rise, wipe the blood out of your eyes Accept your circumstance. Is it unjust punishment? You are struck down Astaroth, Prince of the Serpent Crown The viper in your hand shows No, no, it's too late

I am Reborn 05:03
You ask when the end will come I tell you it had begun before you were born A hellish heresy is this sick society of slavery The road was paved with intentions of gold No-one knew that they had sold their souls Angel, with the dead eyes Reveals a military mind Remember, the value of surprise Is grounded in secrecy A God self-slain on my own strange altar I lay dying Like sepulchral stone I lay When God incarnated as a man, he killed himself But with every thought of power I am reborn The roaring subjugates the land The rising deluge consumes Pestilence spreads upon the wind No-one can withstand this calamity The road was long Paved with gold It stole their souls

Behold the ancient city of a thousand names She sleeps beneath the waves Calcific structures rigorously defined Crustacean paradise Eternally nameless Eternally placeless Channelling the flow Chaos rider, resist the undertow Hearken the wail of seas untamed Voices of the deep unnamed Whirling pieces of reality Manifest before me Eternally nameless Eternally placeless Channelling the flow Chaos rider, resist the undertow Eternally nameless Eternally placeless Channelling the flow Chaos rider, resist the undertow I must go into the deep Into a place blacker still than sleep As the scales fall from my eyes The dreaming city will arise
